Transforming the Menopause Conversation in the Workplace

The menopause has recently gone from an infrequently talked about taboo subject with outdated connotations linked to women getting old and past it, to a current hot topic which now trends on social media platforms. It is the subject of primetime documentaries hosted by A list celebrities and is often the headline news in our daily newspapers.

We offer dedicated support for your business, providing perimenopause/menopause education and support in the workplace. Find out more about the sessions we offer and cost here.

A personal journey

Our services were born from the needs of our founder, Lyndsay Harrison. With over 18 years experience as a Nurse Practitioner in General Practice, Lyndsay created one of the first dedicated menopause clinics in General Practice in Edinburgh.

This journey began when she was embarrassed by her failure to recognise her own perimenopause symptoms. She realised that if she was unable to recognise the cause of her own symptoms she may also not recognise symptoms of perimenopause and menopause in her patients.

She enlisted on training courses with the British Menopause Society and Newson Health and has dedicated herself to raising awareness of menopause, initially amongst her peers and co-workers then decided to take her passion for menopause education into the workplace.

Testimonials from organisations we've worked with

  • All our staff took part in the Menopause Education Session hosted by Lyndsay Harrison. Lyndsay was welcoming and friendly and put everyone at ease when talking about what some might think a taboo subject. Lyndsay provided an informative presentation with additional support material for staff. Our staff members were highly engaged and felt comfortable to ask questions throughout the session. We would highly recommend Lyndsay to provide this training to any workforce to help raise awareness and encourage open discussions.

    Louise McLeod, Head of Operations RIAS, Edinburgh

  • Lyndsay recently delivered a hugely informative session on Menopause in the Workplace for all our staff; it was engaging, educational and thought-provoking. It generated numerous questions from a diverse mix of staff as all felt comfortable contributing. All questions were answered clearly and supplemented with useful, practical advice. Lyndsay’s expertise and excellent delivery mean that this talk is a great resource for all employers to use in order to educate on this important, relevant subject in their workplace.

    Helen Harrison - Head, Fettes College

  • Lyndsay took a complex and sensitive subject and translated it into an engaging and informative presentation, sharing resources which we have made available to our people on demand. Lyndsay has a natural and accessible style as a presenter whilst instilling confidence in her professional expertise. I would happily recommend Lyndsay to others.

    Liz Cole – Head of HR, Artemis Investment Management LLP

  • It's the sort of workshop that would benefit all staff as it impacts a huge proportion of staff and will aid understanding of those working with menopausal women! Thanks for organising. Extremely worthwhile.

    Staff member - George Heriot’s School, Edinburgh

  • We invited Lyndsay along to do a virtual session on menopause in the workplace and the feedback has been tremendous from our employees. For some this has been about raising awareness and feeling we can now talk and for others it was well received on how to support colleagues. The session was informative on a number of levels and I would highly recommend Lyndsay who ensured the session was welcoming and friendly.

    Laurie-Anne Douglas - HR Manager, Space Solutions

  • Thank you so much for your wise counsel, your kindness and warmth. You gave me the courage, and knowledge, to ask for what I needed. I am hugely grateful!

    AW, Edinburgh

  • Lyndsay’s session was informative, helpful and relaxed. Her style of presentation put everyone at ease from the outset and our staff benefitted hugely from her knowledge. We look forward to welcoming her back again soon.

    Susan Donnelly - Head of HR, George Heriot’s School, Edinburgh

  • Lyndsay conducted an online menopause myth-busting session available for all employees. We had a great take-up, raising awareness of the issues women face and how to support them. Lyndsay was very knowledgeable, presented well and was not thrown by any of the questions thrown out. I would be happy to recommend her to any company.

    Trudy James – Member of the Diversity Committee and Gender workstream, Artemis Investment Management LLP

  • Thank you for being so patient and listening. I went to my GP and I am now fully HRT’d up!

    CC, Edinburgh

  • Thank you for arranging this very informative and well-pitched session (and to Lyndsay for her great delivery), I came away from it feeling "normal" and armed with useful information.

    Staff Member - George Heriot’s School, Edinburgh

  • We were delighted to welcome Lyndsay Harrison of Workplace Menopause Support to our office earlier this week. Lyndsay gave us an enlightening and invaluable lunchtime talk on the impact of menopause within the workplace, and how best to support those experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. We would strongly encourage everyone to get in touch with Lyndsay to help break the taboo of discussing the menopause, and to educate all in the workplace, and we look forward to continuing our conversations within HLA.

    Helen Lucas Architects, Edinburgh

  • A very clear and valuable insight into the stages and symptoms of the menopause and the treatment options available to help menopausal women.  I wished I’d had the benefit of that advice 20 years ago when I was perimenopausal.  Encouraging to see male colleagues not only taking an interest but showing empathy.

    Veronica Low - Partnership & Business Development Manager, RIAS, Edinburgh

  • “I’ve been lucky enough to attend Menopause in the workplace with Lyndsay and I would highly recommend any business to reach out to her. Lyndsay has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and her presentation was fantastic and very well received from our staff. We will be arranging annual sessions going forward”
